Sunlight and Starlight Compared
Sunlight and Starlight eoem to us
tho two extremes of brillianoy
among the celestial bodies yet this
discrepancy is of course duo only
to the greater distance of stars
many of which omit an actual
amount of light far greater than
that of our sun Some new and in
teresting studies of sunlight and
starlight have been made by a
Frenoh astronomer M Dufour who
has published his results in the
journal of the Italian Spectroscopic
Socioy a notico cf which is con
tributed by Dr Albert Battandior to
Cosmos February 10
It would be absolutely impossible
w are told to comparH tho light o
the Biin directly with that of a star
and to solve this problem wo are
forced to take intermediary types to
form a sort of scale between theto
two extremes M Dufour has made
his scale consist of four degrees At
tho top he places tho sun then the
full moon then a gas flame and
lastly a star of tho first magnitude
First tho moons light must bo
compared with that of tho sun
Here we have results ranging all the
way from 1300000 to 1800000 for
the ratio between tho two Dufour
bolioves that the first ratio is more
nearly correct Next the moon and
the gas flame are corn pared and M
Dufour finds that the light of tho
full moon at the zenith is equal to
that of a standard fhme at about 20
feet For the third comparison
that of thd flame with a star Du
four embarked on a steamboat ply
ing on one of the Swiss lakes and
ns it approached a gas lighted town
ho noted tho exiot moment when
each of the gas lights appeared pro
cisuly aa bright as the star with
which he wished to compare them
Thus he found that a gas flame
G5G0 feet away gave a light equal to
that of the star Arcturus The
11 a in o was thus over 300 times far
ther away than the one whose light
was eqiml to that of the moon As
tho intensity of light varies inverse
ly as tho square of the distance the
stars light must be about 100020
times weaker than the moons and
therefore 30000000000 times weaker
than that cf the sun Experiments
with other stars gavo results of the
same order but differing of course
considerably in amount To quote
from Dr Battandiers account
From this difference of brilliancy
which is only a subjective impres
sion can io derive any knowledge
of the actual brilliancy of these
stars If thoir parallax has been
exactly measured the conclusion
would be facilitated but this paral
lax is very uncertain for its suiall
uesa subjects it to large errors
Suppose that Arcturus and Vega
are at a distance a million times as
great as that of the sun Astrono
mers calculalo that light takes 21
years 7 months to get to us from
Vega and 81 years 7 months from
Arcturur but we will take the num
ber 1000000 to facilitate calcula
lion If removed to this distance
our sun would appear vastly more
dim than they According to M
Dufour its light would be 3300000
times weaker than that of the full
moon and to compare it to a gas
flame we should have to move 10
kilometers G mile away from the
flame Now wo have seen that a
distance of 2 kilometers was enough
to equalize the light of Aroturus
with that of a flame therefore this
star must be much moro brilliant
than the gun
Tt should be noted that this does
not put the ease strongly enough
for we have assumed 1000000 times
the radius of the oarths orbit to bo
the distauco of the star whereas
Vegaa parallax shows its dietanco
to be 1375000 times this radius and
Arcturus is still farther off its dis
tance being 2191000 times this
radius
The stars are thus as has beau
urnmnm
seen much moro brilliant than tho
sun which in spito of its tigantic
dimensions cuts n small figure
among tho worlds that surround us
of which wo spo just enough to show
that they exist As God has created
no usoleBs thing these sources of
light heat and life which He has
bo abundantly strewn through space
must hae their place in the plan of
divine Providence nit ho we do not
know what it is Translation made
